    Change default charset to iso-8859-1 for greater web compatibility
    
    When servers reply with no explicit charset and the page does not specify a
    charset either, the default behaviour on the web has been to consider the
    contents to be in the iso-8859-1 encoding. That is why WebKit's default charset
    setting defaults to iso-8859-1. By changing that default to UTF-8 we break
    some web sites, such as http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/leis/lcp/lcp101.htm.
    
    This change restores web compatibility by using the same default as WebKit.
